Molecular Mimicry between SARS-CoV-2 proteins and human self-antigens related with autoimmune central nervous system (CNS) disorders
2023-10-02
Abstract excerpt
SARS-CoV-2 can trigger autoimmune central nervous system (CNS) diseases in genetically susceptible individuals, a mechanism poorly understood. Molecular mimicry (MM) has been identified in other viral diseases as potential triggers of autoimmune CNS events. This study investigated if MM is the process through which SARS-CoV-2 induce the breakdown of immune tolerance. The frequency of autoimmune CNS disorders was e...
